I’m about to buy a new bike! Yay.
It will have gears! Not so yay!
I’ve recently had tennis elbow, which means I’ve now had tennis elbow in both arms (neither injury was caused playing tennis; one was triggered by pouring cups of tea during the Dunwich Dynamo). Both were fixed with injections, though obviously I now have a weakness.
I usually ride with straight bars but google tells me that drops possibly would be best for long rides.
Anyone had similar injuries? Drops or straight bars? (And how long will it take me to get used to drops?)
If you already have straight bars on your bike I'd try some swept back bars like Soma Clarence, On-One OG, Humpert Aerowing et al., should relieve your arms of pressure

Thanks for any input.
